My life changed completely after I started taking D supplements. I felt like a new woman!
How much D3 do you take each day?
I think that would be different for each person depending on what their blood work shows.
How do you know how much to take?
VERY TRUE!!!! My Vitamin D levels was at a 13 and your suppose to be between 30-80 so now I am taking a prescribed vitamin D pill once a week for 12 weeks then I have to go back and get my blood work done again.
I would get blood work done and then go from there.
mine is combined with my calcium tablet. Been on it for over 15 years.
Sunlight. I'm not going to argue about this but it's scientific. Pills can't do what we do with sunlight.
Nope. Autoimmunity is caused by vitamin d receptors being shut off. It reduces absorption from all sources and most people can't get enough from sunlight. That's why the majority of the population is deficient.
You do realize you didn't disagree with me, right? If it shuts it off from all sources then nothing will make it come up. The population part is due to our lifestyle changes in the West.
It does come up with supplementation. That's how mine went from 12 to 35 in a couple months. Supplements can do what sunlight never could. That's the opposite of what you said.
It needs cofactors to be absorbed. If people don't have a gall bladder they need to take it with a fatty food so it's digested or try micellized drops.
What foods please, no gallbladder
Anything with a little fat works. I just take mine with breakfast n use butter on my toast.
And magnesium, they’ve both been game changers!
Agreed!!
Yesss!! My levels were 13 when tested! I now take 5000 d3 everyday. I had them retested and I was at 50. I can tell when I miss a dose, I'm much more stiff and sore.
Vitamin k7 should be taken with it as well. Helps with absorption. And they work together.
Is k 7 a blood thinner
Stacey Jarvis actually it helps blood coagulate.
Thank you
Yes I wasn’t taking enough vitaminsd. When doctor told me to up it to 5000iu I feel so much better wow
I am vit d and b12 deficient along with 516 RF.
I take one pill of multivitamin for women. Should I take additional dosage ?
My level was 2. It has been shown that taking high doses of vitamin d when deficient can reduce symptoms and disease severity.
yes i was deficient and having pain... Now im not and no pain
I’m feeling a lot better myself since increasing my vitamin d dose and addressing my deficiency.
I was completely deficient in VitaminD. Once I supplemented with LIQUID vitamin D from the health food store (not chemical rx from doc) things began improving!!!
And I did neglect to mention as others have stated... Magnesium is necessary too. Best to get 15-20 mins of sun (TIL skin turns pink) for natural vitaminD. If that’s not possible then a natural liquid supplement absorbs and works best.
How about magnesium oil that I rub into joints. I know it help anywhere I have pain
Yes I prefer topical magnesium as well. Absorbs faster too.
The Vitamin D Council has lots of great info. Google to find their site
Yes thank you I’ve just checked it out
Take 5000u
Yes, I was listening to a doctor on YouTube who is totally against rheumatologists and the toxic medications they prescribe for RA. He states that vitamin D deficiency is a common factor in patient with RA and it should be illegal for doctors to treat RA without obtaining vitamin D levels .
